FAMAS | Valence

Origin Story

The FAMAS | Valence, released on February 18, 2016, as part of The Wildfire Collection, features a modern red and grey design that complements the weapon's form. It is generally regarded by the community as a clean and affordable option for players seeking a contemporary aesthetic. While it is a Restricted tier skin from a discontinued operation case, it is primarily valued as a mid-tier choice rather than a high-status collector's item. Its sleek, angular grey paneling with red accents provides a distinctive look on the battlefield.

Drop Chance

FAMAS | Valence is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Operation Wildfire Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Operation Wildfire Case (about 1 in 313). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($60.29): Colors are at their most vibrant, with crisp separation between the red accents and grey panels, and the surface appears smooth and clean.
• Minimal Wear ($9.83): The skin retains strong color vibrancy and its sharp, modern look, with only minor surface wear beginning to appear along edges.
• Field-Tested ($5.07): More visible wear appears on exposed edges and moving parts, with red accent lines and grey panels starting to look duller.
• Well-Worn ($4.95): Significant dulling affects both the red and grey areas, with more exposed base material on edges and high-contact surfaces, making the design appear more used.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): Heavy wear is evident across the skin, with extensive dulling and potential exposure of the underlying base tone, making the modern design look heavily worn and patchy.

Model

Valence uses the legacy FAMAS model, introduced with Operation Wildfire on February 18, 2016. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
